About Me

I'm a scientist/programmer/inventor/entrepreneur who has been involved in Internet-related innovations since 1980, specializing in e-mail technology, human-computer interaction, and electronic commerce. Journalists have called me an "Internet Guru" and "a geek's geek, " among other things. I have largely focused, in my career, on taking new innovations and driving them, collaboratively, to become successful products.
I specialize in building consensus in diverse groups, and I enjoy translating between different perspectives, particularly between software development and business strategy.
From 2002-2010 I was a Distinguished Engineer
for IBM Lotus Division. In June of 2010 I resigned from IBM to become Chief Scientist at Mimecast.
